to thwart spambots looking for email addresses to send spam to.
Simply replace [gnat] with "@" when responding. I chose [gnat]
because it rhymes with "at" and is easy to remember. Same goes
for "." - [snot].

**NOTICE: This guide may only be distributed and/or posted in its
original format (and, most importantly, UNALTERED in any way).
If you wish to post or use excerpts from this guide then please ask for
my permission first before doing so (especially if you work for a
magazine or website). A lot of time and effort was spent putting this
thing together and that should be taken into consideration.
And remember.....
"Respect is everything."
Besides, contacting me will also give me an opportunity to hook up and talk
shop with fellow GTA "thuggers".....
I truly want to thank those who have written to me about this guide even if
you haven't received a response. I tend to read my e-mail late at night and
sometimes I'm too tired to respond right away. Mainly because I'm either a)
updating my other GTA (plus Riddick) related documents, b) hacking up a
console or doing more RGB experiments, or c) I've had a rough night at work
(I work retail you know....).
I've received a lot of nice e-mail about this guide from people around the
world saying how good the guide is and offering suggestions (many of which
made it into the previous revisions). I intend to continue updating and
polishing this document for as long as possible.

| I.1. Who Am I? |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
My name is Robert Allen Rusk and I am a hardcore gamer with about 30+ years
of gaming experience. I am an ex-gametester (Broderbund Software, LucasArts
Games, Point Of View Computing) and an ex-arcade attendant (Namco
Cyberstation - Pier 39, San Francisco, CA).
I also own multiple systems such as the Sega Dreamcast, Super Nintendo,
Nintendo 64, Atari Jaguar, PlayStation 1 and 2, Xbox, and Xbox 360.
I currently work at JCPenneys at one of the malls here in San Antonio, TX.
Retail isn't the best job in the world but JCPenneys has given me the job
stability I did not have much of prior to employment there. This also led to
personal stability that allows me to write and maintain the guides I have
built.
I started writing guides in 2003 because I felt it was something I could do
utilizing my writing skills gained in college and gametesting along with my
passion for vidgames.
Over time I have honed my overall writing and organization skills plus my
creative thinking skills. Additionally, I have extended the play value of the
games I have written guides and FAQs for many times over plus I have received
many letters from all over the world.
I am also what one may call an RGB Analog Video enthusiast. I hack most of my
game consoles to try to get the best possible video from them and that
usually involves tapping into the RGB Analog video signals and using them on
the right monitors to achieve my desires.
To this end I became a member of the GamesX.com mod forum and I post on their
"RGB + Video Discussions" forum area from time to time.
In addition, I am a member of the X-Otic Computer Systems of San Antonio
(www.xcssa.org), a group who specializes in Linux, Mac, and other systems. We
are also a group of hackers and electronics enthusiasts.
I am also a regular forum poster at GameFAQs, an occasional poster at
AtariAge, Digital Press, GTA Forums, and Video Game Saga. I am also a member
of The MoFaT (a members only message board set up by "Grand Theft Auto: Vice
City" players who met on the Vice City message boards at GameFAQs).
Outside of gaming, my interests include "Godzilla" (I have been a G-Fan since
the age of ten) and "Red Dwarf" (I own all eight series plus the "Back to
Earth" mini-series on DVD). I am also a long time soundtrack collector with
many titles in my possession.
As far as favorite sports teams go, my teams are the San Antonio Spurs (NBA)
[the local team], the Denver Broncos (NFL) [although I live in Texas, I am
originally from Colorado Springs, Colorado] and the Air Force Falcons (NCAA
Football).

| I.2. My Setup |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
This guide was constructed using BBEdit Lite 6.1 and a Power Mac Workgroup
Server 8550/200 (with a G3 card running at 330 MHz). It is now being
maintained using TextWrangler on a 1.5Ghz Single Core Intel Mac Mini. I view
my work in Safari to help in seeing how it would look on the web and correct
format errors.
For this particular document I placed the PlayStation 2 (Original) version of
Vice City into my Mac's DVD-ROM drive. From there, I copied the file called
"american.gxt" to the hard drive.
Then I opened it up in BBEdit Lite and removed most of the weird garbage with
the Find and Replace feature. After that then I went through the document and
found the stuff I did not recognize from all the hours spent playing Vice
City.
That stuff was copied to another text document for further sorting and
processing.
/=========================================================================\

| I.3. About The FAQ |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Welcome to my Vice City Hidden Text FAQ! This FAQ goes over the large
amount of text that was written up but was not used in the game but was
buried instead of removed.
This was also done on GTA3 and San Andreas. Vice City has more hidden text
than GTA3 but has far less than San Andreas.
The material being presented here is actual text found on the game disc in
the file called "american.gxt". I did not make any of it up and if you put it
your computer and open it up in a text editor you can see it for yourself.
What I have done here is sort everything out as best I could so I can
properly present it. In the process of sorting the text I tried to find out
who says what and what was supposed to happen within the sequence of events.
Some of the text was easy to sort through and some of it was very difficult.
Originally I placed the Hidden Text section at the end of my Vice City guide.
But after the success of my San Andreas Hidden Text FAQ I decided to put the
hidden text from Vice City into its own FAQ so I can streamline my Vice City
guide.

| II.1. The Introduction |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
For starters here's an slightly different version of the opening movie text
(taken from where Ken picks up Tommy at the Airport):
Ken: "Hey, hey, guys! It's, uh, Ken Rosenberg here! Hey! Heh, heh, hey,
great, hey! Well, uh, I'm gonna drive you guys to the meet, okay? Now,
I've talked to the suppliers and they are very, huh-ha, keen to start a
business relationship, so, uh, if all goes well, we should, uh, be
doing very nicely for ourselves, which is, y'know... good.. Okay, so.
They're brothers, okay. One operates the uh, the business, and the
other one does the flying. Now they operate out of Mexico, They own a
farm in Panama. Okay, all right, listen - you guys, when we get there
should I stay in the car, or do you guys want me to come in with you
guys?"
Tommy: "No. Stay in the car."
Ken: "You know what, I thought about it, I'm gonna watch the car."
.....later, at the meet:
Ken: "Ok, that's them in the chopper. All right, here's the deal. They want a
straight exchange on open ground. All right? Ok. Stay tight, let's go.
All right. Take it easy, now. I'm right here. The cars running, baby!
Got it?"
Dealer: "100% pure grade-A Colombian, my friend. The greens?"
Tommy: "Tens and twenties...used."
.....then, the ambush:
Tommy: "Go on, get out of here! Drive!"
......back at Ken's office:
Ken: "Screwed! We're screwed! This is soo typical, I poke my head out of the
gutter for one freakin' second, and fate shovels shit in my face! Well,
screw you!"
Tommy: "Shut your face and quit complaining! You're alive, aren't ya'? Drop
me right up here. Go dump the car, then go get some sleep. I'll drop
by your office tomorrow and we can start sorting this mess out."
Ken: "OK, that's a good idea, I'll get some sleep. What are you gonna do?"
Tommy: "Make my way back to my hotel, clear my head, and figure this crap
out. OK."
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| II.2. Another Mission From Avery |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Avery Carrington had some additional work you could've done:
Avery: "Hey Tommy, it's Avery! Now listen, I got me all tied up at the moment
and I have a representative of mine needs chaperoning out to the
Gator Keys. I'm after some land out that way, so I'm sending someone
out to sweeten the deal. Could you do me a favor and make sure he
gets there ok?"
Tommy: "Yeah, sure thing Avery. Where'd you want me to pick him up?"
Avery: "He's just finishing some business at the building site. I said you'd
pick him up from there."
Tommy: "No problem. See you later, Avery."
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| II.3. An Additional Mission For Diaz (?) |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
This group of text was bunched with some stuff concerning Diaz. I had a
couple of readers, Finke and Pawe, note that some of this text appears in the
missions "The Fastest Boat" (Ricardo Diaz) and "Rub Out" (Ricardo Diaz).
Another reader, X99, suggested that some of these lines were also from the
mission "Rub Out".
It unclear at this time if all of this text is used in just those missions:
"Hope you fall and break your neck!"
"I'm sick of these pricks."
"See those marker boys? Try taking out the lights!"
"You sure is better at shooting than talking."
"Thanks. You're a real charmer yourself."
"I Know, Tommy."
"You cool with Kenny Loggins?"
"Hell, I love this record"
"You killed Lance!"
"Don't shoot, dude!"
"What's in this stuff?"
"He's taking the boat. Bummer."
"Help! Some square's stealing the boat, man!"
"Uugghh! That's the last of them."
"I'm going to start her up."
"I think we've got some new friends."
"Yeah."
"Do you know where we're going?"
"Are we lost?"
"We got some competition!"
"Take 'em out!"
"It's time for the Lance Vance Dance!"
"They're matchwood! And fish food."
"We made it! Those other boats ain't VIP class."
"They're getting desperate!"
"My damn feet are wet! WE'RE TAKING ON WATER!"
"Bridge coming up!"
"Bail out, she's about to blow!"
"Good shooting."
"You killed Lance!"
"Go on Tommy, I'll be ok!"
"Eat this, you murdering bastards!!"
"I'm pinned down!"
"I got you covered Tommy!"
"Hey, this is a real nice herbaceous border."
"Hey Tommy, can my room have a view of the bay?"
"Beautiful high ceilings in here...Lance! I need cover!"
"Diaz must be inside!"
"Lance!"
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| II.4. Ken Rosenberg's Advice |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Then there's this piece of advice from Ken Rosenberg after you start
acquiring properties:
Ken: "Hey Tommy, I thought you might need some business advice. Once you got
an operation up and running, you'll need to drop by and take the week's
cash. Let the guys think they got the run of the place and they'll try
shaving the profits - ok?"
Tommy: "Hey, I know how to handle business, Ken, ok?"
Ken: "Ok, ok. I know, you know. I know. I was, I was just, you know, telling
you I know, that you know, that I know. Just keeping it sharp baby!"
Tommy: "Whatever, Ken, whatever..."
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| II.5. Conversations With Kent Paul |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Rockstar had some additional conversations between Kent Paul and Tommy that
were dropped for some reason:
0===============0
| Conversation 1 \
0================================>
Kent: "Hey there Tommy, you're gonna love me mate. A little birdy told me
that Vice City SWAT Division has a deposit box at a certain rather
large banking establishment, where they keep all the bribes they've
taken over the years, like some kind of old boys' retirement fund. Of
course, if this information should ever help you acquire any of that
cash, I guess you'd feel obliged to push some of it my way?"
Tommy: "I'll bear that in mind, thanks Kent."
Kent: "It's Paul. I'm from Kent, near London, you prat."
Tommy: "My provincial English geography ain't what it was."
++NOTE: This might explain the "SWAT Retirement Fund" line within "The Job"
(Malibu Club Asset))
0===============0
| Conversation 2 \
0================================>
Kent: "Tommy, mate, it's Paul, from Kent, a couple of proper sorts have your
name written all over them, down at the Malibu."
Tommy: "What are you talking about?"
Kent: "Sorts. Birds. You know. Girls. Tastey ones, don't think they're
brasses or nothing. You gotta come check them out."
0===============0
| Conversation 3 \
0================================>
Kent: "Tommy V, It's KP here. Kent Paul. Word on the street is people want to
rip you off. Keep your eye's peeled, my son. And remember, I didn't
say nothing to you about this."
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| II.6. An Introduction From Umberto Robina |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Rockstar had an alternate version of the initial phone call between Tommy and
Umberto Robina:
Umberto: "Hello, is this Mr. Tommy Vercetti?"
Tommy: "Yes."
Umberto: "Well, I hear through the vine of grapes you the man when someone
got a vermin infestation."
Tommy: "Maybe..."
Umberto: "Well, I got a real vermin infestation. Haitians everywhere. My name
is Umberto Robina and I want you to meet me at the Cafe Robina as
soon as you can, 'cause I tell you, these damn Haitians gone too
far this time."
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| II.7. Mr. Moffat |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
This would've been a cool mission if Rockstar had decided to implement it:
Moffat: "Vercetti? VERCETTI!! Damn you man, you've got to help me!"
Tommy: "Mr. Moffat? How's family life?"
Moffat: "Damn you to hell, HELL, do hear me?!"
Tommy: "Well it was nice chatting..."
Moffat: "WAIT! Wait, Vercetti - Tommy, can I call you Tommy? We're both
businessmen, yeah? You know a good deal when you hear one, ok?"
Tommy: "I don't have time to chat, get to the point."
Moffat: "MONEY. Money is the goddamned point. I've escaped the coop again,
but it's never long before they track me down - they think it's a
damned game! I'm at a pay phone somewhere in this god forsaken shit
hole. Get me out of here before they take me back and...and..oh
go-o-od..."
Tommy: "Well, I'm busy for the next -"
Moffat: "No! Don't shit with me here, have a heart! No man should have to do
such, such things. I'm on my knees here Tommy, in the dirt begging
you please..."
Tommy: "I guess I could swing by that way, see if I can spot you..."
Moffat: "Oh god, they're coming. For the love of Christ hurry, hurry!"
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| II.8. Sunshine Autos |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Apparently Tommy took on a little more than just Sunshine Autos:
Stranger: "Mr. Vercetti? I have here a signed piece of crap stating that you
have taken on all of BJ's Auto's debts. With BJ's sudden
disappearance I have no choice but to hold you responsible for his
financial insecurities. Until this account is settled in full you
should consider Vice City's streets to be very unfriendly."
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| II.9. An Additional Mission For Interglobal Films |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Then there's this exchange between Steve Scott and Tommy that was part of a
mission that was dropped:
Steve: "Look, I gotta ask you a favor."
Tommy: "Steve! How's filming going!"
Steve: "Fine, fine. I, heh, WE need a car chase scene, but our budget can't
stretch to it. I've left some wheels around town. You'll know what to
do."
Tommy: "Ok Steve, I'll keep an eye out. Catch you later."
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| II.10. Tommy And Mercedes |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
Then there are these gems between Tommy and Mercedes:
0===============0
| Conversation 1 \
0====================================================================>
Mercedes: "Hiya Tommy!"
Tommy: "Hi Mercedes, howyadoin'?"
Mercedes: "I got a new apartment up in Vice Point - thought you might want
to drop by sometime."
Tommy: "I'd love to. I'll catch you later."
0===============0
| Conversation 2 \
0====================================================================>
Mercedes: "Tommy, it's me."
Tommy: "Hi Mercedes."
Mercedes: "Tommy, I so bored, when we going to have some fun?"
Tommy: "What do you mean?"
Mercedes: "Well, I know you're busy fighting and killing and corrupting
people, but I just want to have some fun. So don't forget about
me, you hear?"
0===============0
| Conversation 3 \
0====================================================================>
Mercedes: "Tommy, I hear you kill Ricardo Diaz. There was an unfortunate fire
at his mansion. I think he burnt to death in an acrylic shirt.
Tommy, I so proud of you. I knew you were a real man. He awful
trouser stain of a man, you make me so proud to be your friend.
No, I know you going to be busy trying to take over this town, but
don't forget about me, you hear?"
0===============0
| Conversation 4 \
0====================================================================>
Mercedes: "It's Mercedes. I no longer love you Tommy. I no longer do.
Honest. 'cause you no longer nice to Mercedes. You no longer treat
her like a lady. You ignore me and I hate you. I insist you come
to see me right away!"
0===============0
| Conversation 5 \
0====================================================================>
Mercedes: "Tommy."
Tommy: "Hey Mercedes."
Mercedes: "Hey indeed Mr. Tough Guy. I real angry with you Tommy. Never make
me hang out with Jezz Torrent again. He is pathetic. Half way
through he starts crying about his doggie that died when he was 7
years old and that his mommy never loved him. And Tommy. He wear a
wig and a bra in private. I not very happy with you!"
0===================================================0
| Conversation 6 (after the Interglobal Films Asset) \
0====================================================================>
Mercedes: "Ooh Tommy, its Mercedes. I just want to say, I have so much fun on
that film set. Anything else you have like that, you let me know.
I really mean that. I always wanted to be an actress. I think I
learn a lot about the dramatic process. It so enlightening! Thank
you. Thank you. I see you real soon. Adios."
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| II.11. A Call From Phil |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
I think this could've been the phone call you get from Phil after you
complete the Main Story Missions:
Phil: "Tommy, the wound is healing well. Funny thing is, I have fought in 6
battle zones and always walked away without a scratch, and now this!
One armed Phil. Still, I got me a healthy selection of one handed fire
power so I'll never be unarmed Phil, you hear. Any way son, cut out
the sentimental crap and go buy yourself a drink, you hear!"
/=========================================================================\
0===========================================================================0
| II.12. A Deal With Colonel Cortez |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
There may've been more between the Colonel and Tommy but was not fully
explored. This an alternate version of the Colonel's phone call after
completion of the Main Story Missions:
Cortez: "Tommy, it is always a struggle here. Excuse the poor line, we have
just had another failed coup. The people are the most demanding
mistress of all. So far, we have had three revolutions and four
coups since I return from Vice City. Luckily, I have been promoted
each time. Maybe everyone is humiliating me. Tommy, you are proving
very useful, my friend."
Tommy: "Thanks, Cortez. What about my deal?"
Cortez: "Tommy, I am working tirelessly on your behalf to ensue we get to the
bottom of this trench of stinking lies and deceit, you have my word
on that, but in the meantime, please accept the esteemed thanks of
my people for your work on our behalf."

For making, IMHO, the best computers (especially my Intel Mac Mini) and
for making the best text programs (BBEdit Lite and TextWrangler) for the
Macintosh.
>>Sony and MicroSoft
******************
For putting out two very good consoles: the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox.
And finally, my biggest thanks of all goes to you the reader (and especially
those who have made suggestions that made it into the guide as well as those
who took the time to say nice things about this document).

So now I've come to the end of yet another gaming adventure and looking
forward to new ones. I hope that my guide helps you in getting the most out
of "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City".
